Fergie added: “I’ve been waiting for him to come out with this for so long because I want it. He won’t give it to me. I want it for the gym. He’s so amazing – just such a genius lyricist and I’m really excited for his project.”

His last solo album was 2007’s ’Songs About Girls’ which, last year, he admitted wasn’t a success.

He said: “Because that album did not succeed, it taught me what to do with the Peas and what not to do.”
